YelloweWest:Women working in the West since history has always been necessitated by shortages or need. From world wars 1 & 2 to the Great depression. Matter of fact, America implored women to go back home after the end of WW2. Women not working has no bearing to Africa's under development. http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?243179-When-did-women-start-working How do you explain the middle east like Saudi Arabia and UAE where women still live a tad higher than domestic help? They are still structurally more advanced than Africa. Yeah, Europe installed female kings out of the expediency of keeping blue bloods in the throne but at the same time women were denied the right to vote!!! In fact women have attained full suffrage in some African countries like Nigeria when some European countries were still denying women that right. Countries like France, Italy, Portugal etc only granted women that right in the 1940s, while Switzerland and Leicestershire were 1971 and 1984 respectively!!! Africa's development or lack thereof has no bearing with women's participation or non-participation in the economy. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

bukatyne:Who determines equity? It starts with you & I. If we are gearing towards a nation that will treat both gender with fairness then it starts with us and the character we instill in our children. You know why? Because THE MIND OF A CHILD IS WHERE THE REVOLUTION BEGINS |

Don't mind the whyteman, he is the devil's slave and the greatest of hypocrites. Woman's day? Good! I love women. They're irreplaceable and man's best company. But what do you mean by equality? By forcing banks and other top private firms to keep certain positions for women? Whatever happen to who the cap fits, let him/she wear it? And why do America and 4 other countries still hold a veto power over 200 countries in the UN? Even after a majority vote, a single country like America or Britain can just override it for personal interest. Follow the whyteman at your peril. Unless he has something to gain, he turns the other way. Gender equality is the plan of the devil. Tell me about gender equity. |

bukatyne:Hey Miss, you are mixing everything up. Frst I said EQUITY(fairness) not equality. Then you asked who should determines what is fair for a person? And I said all of us, men and women ,we adults in general. Our young boys today will become tomorrow men! Even if you are not vibrant enough to voice your opinion in public. You have little kids around you, You have little cousins or nephews we can all start by teaching them how to be fair to one another! There is no rule anyway that says a woman cannot head a man in an office. Or a woman should earn in thousands & a man in millions. We all deserve to be treated fairly! And I don't support equality. Women are weaker sex, there are certain measures you don't dish out to a woman simply because she preaches women equality. Women who talk bout gender equality are most clamouring for a right to be arrogant and talk anyhow to fellow man because she feels they are equal. NO! If we respect one another, talks of feminism wouldn't even exist! EQUITY is the watchword, treat a woman as you would do yourself & vice-versa. But like I said, this doesn't mean a woman cannot head a department in an office or other higher positions. 3 Likes |

[b]Women are the architects of their own misery. There will never be equal rights for women in employment, political positions, social ,educationAl and cultural sectors. Women are their own worst enemy , extremely judgemental of one another, envious and hardly supportive of one another. The men will always be dominant in all aspects ,until women learn to stop criticising and condemning each other they will never get to the top. Most of the most successful women in the world are 95% criticised and abused by WOMEN. I wonder the day we will have female governors and a female president , I am certainly sure women will vote her out. Only a woman with a low self esteem will judge another woman just to make herself feel good. A Queen supports and praises a Queen. Women will NEVER get what they truly deserve in this world unless they unite in love . Women are always the first to cast a stone . If you all could spend 80% of the time you spend on being little demons in another woman's life and be more productive and supportive , we will be more respected and valued in our society . #yougiveoutwhatyouget#stopthehatesisters.[/b] i copied this from caroline instagram and many females celebrities endorsed it.i endorse this too especially with everything i read here on NL from women.Shame on women who are first 2 judge and pull their fellow women down because of difference of opinions.

bukatyne:The truth of the matter is you'v no point. You are looking for proofs to support gender-equality but the "koko" is that there is none. Even in our Nigerian constitution, there is no Fairness towards the men. YES! The same women shouting gender equality don't even knw that they are highly favoured. 1) According to the Nigerian constitution guiding rape offence, A woman cannot RAPE a man. Its not POSSIBLE according to our law . 2) According to the criminal code, fight between two men in public is seen as felony but between women its seen as a Misdemeanour(lesser offence) 3) According to labour act women are prohibited from any Night work be iit public or private attachment with exception to nurses only. These are the ones I can remember, yet you think the Nigerian law is fair to us men. Smh! 1 Like 1 Share |
